I'd suggest a maybe 30a breaker if wire size is larger than 14g, being this is only potentially for intermittent use during breakaway. and 14g+ will handle short periods of 25A as breaker resets.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

One more trick. Get a second dead man switch. Mount it under the trailer close to the axle. Run the pull cable through the wheel. If the wheel ever rotates it'll pull the pin. The brakes will be on. Good theft device.

Until you forget it's hooked up and drive away, not that I would ever do that.  That's how I know it works. You don't move very far. Doug
